Chapter 93 The First Day of the Challenge
The Splendid Cup National Challenge, as the largest amateur event in the national WarGame, is the most eye-catching game in addition to the professional league. After so many years of development, the number of participants in the Brilliant Cup has been renovated year by year and continues to rise, until the number of people registered nationwide reached 800,000 this year. Although the strength of the participants is very different and uneven, it can be regarded as the highest of all e-sports projects in terms of the number of people alone.
It naturally requires an opening ceremony to hold a competition of such a scale, which is not even enjoyed by the professional league.
When Ren Jingcheng and others arrived at the new exhibition center, the whole building was already full of people. Although the organizer had arranged 20,000 seats in advance, thousands of people were still scattered around standing against the wall to watch the opening ceremony.
Of course, amateur events are amateur events, and the opening ceremony is also quite simple. It's nothing more than the leader's speech, and then some song and dance performances. Naturally, a battle exhibition match is also indispensable.
Players are not very interested in the first two of the opening ceremony. Both the leader's speech and the song and dance performance were drowsy and perfunctorily. It was not until the beginning of the exhibition competition that they finally woke up one by one, cheered crazily and applauded enthusiastically.
Since it is an exhibition match, the strength of the two sides invited to the battle is naturally not bad. The two teams invited to perform at this opening ceremony are the two oldest teams in the professional club: the Jiantian City team as a local landlord in C City and the September Flower team as a guest.
Both teams were established at the beginning of WarGame. Later, after WarGame became an e-sports project, they turned into professional clubs. The history of these two teams is the longest in the professional league, even if the legendary club that later dominated the professional league for four years was established a year later than them.
The headquarters of the September Flower Club is in R City, which is adjacent to the province where City C is located. As for the guests who invited the September Flower Club for the exhibition competition, it is not deliberate, but the opening match of the professional league starting tonight is the Jiantian City team's home game against the September Flower team. The organizer's invitation to September Flower this time is just a convenience.
Ren Jingcheng and others are also looking forward to this game, otherwise they would not have come to the New World Convention and Exhibition Center early in the morning to play meatball with others.
However, this battle has disappointed everyone. Whether it is the Jiantiancheng team or the September Flower team, they all seem to be out of shape. Not to mention the boring games, they often make some mistakes that even ordinary players can make. It is not like the level that professional players should have. If it weren't been for the double battle on the screen Fang's face is indeed the main force of the two teams. The audience may doubt whether the organizer casually caught a few people on the street and then claimed that the two teams came to play the exhibition game.
After playing for 20 minutes in the whole game, the audience spent these 20 minutes in disappointment, depression and boredom. At the end of the exhibition game, there were suddenly boos, and the three words were endless. The audience was angry. They had a feeling of being deceived from the bottom of their hearts and asked the members of the two teams to explain. , they want to know why the two giant teams play such a game that is not even amateur-level. Is it because the exhibition game is perfunctory...
The municipal government, as the organizer, was also unprepared by this situation and wanted to find the leaders of the two teams to explain it, but the leaders of both teams refused to express their opinions and explanations about the competition. As the captain of the Jiantiancheng team, Li Xiao said that they had fully played a good role in this game, and there was nothing to explain.
No matter how dissatisfied the audience is, everyone in the two clubs has closed their mouths and completely unintentionally explained it like a clam shell. This move is undoubtedly equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, and the audience present is more noisy. Although it is impossible to shout "ticket refund" or something in this game because it is free of charge, but smashed The movement of the chair also fully demonstrated the indignation of the audience.
In the end, an inconspicuous staff thought of an idea and claimed that the two teams chose to retain their strength in order not to find out the details of the opening match of the professional league in the evening, which calmed the audience's anger.
But people with bright eyes know that these words are nonsense. The WarGame professional league has been in its thirteenth season. I'm afraid that even the oldest person in the club can't remember the number of times the Jiantian City team and the September Flower team as a rich team in the league. Who doesn't know who? There is no need to hide it at all.
As for why the two teams are in such a bad state, except Xiao Ou, no one really knows.
Anyway, this opening ceremony ended in a discordant voice, and the city-wide challenge in C also officially started in full swing.
The first day was the knockout match of the individual battle, which was set at 1 p.m., and 80,000 people were arranged in the eight divisions of C City. Due to the large number of personnel, the martial arts arena was selected as the battle map in the first round of the knockout match, and the maximum duration of the battle was set at seven minutes. If there is no winner, there is a system to automatically judge the winner.
Ren Jingcheng was very lucky. Seven were divided into seven different divisions, at least without committing suicide. Some teams were not so lucky. Two or even three teammates were divided into one field, and even some people complained on the forum that their whole team was assigned to one field. I got it.
Ren Jingcheng and others broke up as soon as they went out and hurried to their own competition venue.
Ren Jingcheng was divided into the Red Fish Square competition area, not far from the New World Convention and Exhibition Center. After walking for ten minutes, he had already reached the place.
At this time, the whole Red Fish Square has been under martial law, surrounded by police and security guards. At this time, a huge blue tent has been set up in the square to cover the whole square, leaving only around the sidewalk of the square for walking.
The police checked Ren Jingcheng's entry card before letting him enter the field.
Entering the tent, there are a lot of people standing on the front. These people have participants and spectators. Because there is no charge for the knockout competition, there are still a lot of people coming, but Ren Jingcheng also knows that it is still early and will appear several times later.
After getting the number of the competition at the workbench, Ren Jingcheng stood aside and waited quietly.
The map of the martial arts arena is a standard 1VS1 map, which does not require a large area, so the whole stadium is divided into 20 group arenas. Ren Jingcheng's number is quite strange, which is 9527, a well-known ridiculous name because of a movie.
Ren Jingcheng also looked at his opponent. Player 9528 came from a team that Ren Jingcheng had never heard of. It seemed that his strength was not good, and he couldn't help relaxing a little.
Time passed, and the competition in the C City Division of the Brilliant Cup National Challenge officially began at 1 p.m. The start button was pressed at the same time in eight venues in C City, and the virtual generator was activated...
On the first day, everyone has to play three games, which is considered to have at most 21 minutes for everyone, but there are too many people in the first round of knockout, and most people come to play soy sauce. The well-known masters with real strength have been scattered under the deliberate arrangement of the organizer, and it is unlikely that they will meet in the first three rounds.
The same is true. In the case of the 18 groups where Ren Jingcheng is, the average time of each game is about three and a half, only half of the specified time, and the members of a sky dance team defeated their opponents in just 17 seconds, plus the interval between the game is about five minutes. It can end.
Ren Jingcheng waited for about an hour and a half before it was his turn. He changed his clothes and went on the court. There were no tactics to talk about in the martial arts arena. Just fight directly.
9528 is really not a master. Ren Jingcheng killed him in just 40 seconds. Although this result is not as fierce as the man of the Sky Dance Team, it has also attracted the attention of many people.
Ren Jingcheng, who won the first round, greatly increased his confidence and played again an hour later. It took him a minute to win the opponent and successfully advanced to the third round.
Some of the opponents in the third round are slightly tricky, and they are members of the Flying Fire Team from Nanxing District, C City. The strength of the Flying Fire Team is good, and it belongs to the second echelon in the score of the diary. Meeting this opponent raised the alarm in Ren Jingcheng's heart, knowing that some weighted opponents will appear one by one from now on.
However, Ren Jingcheng obviously looked up at the other party, and this man only struggled in his hand for two minutes and 42 seconds and was shot in the head by him and eliminated.
After three rounds of battle, Ren Jingcheng's arrangements for today's battle have all ended. The fourth round of the battle will start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and his fourth round opponent is what he really needs to pay attention to.
In other stages, Fireman, Ye Xiaoqian, Sun Jianyang, Lu Xinxin, Wang Jun and Ma Chao all successfully advanced to the fourth round tomorrow, and all the members of the passers-by A team won a complete victory.
The end time of the first day of the game is exactly the beginning of the opening game of the professional league. Obviously, the organizer of the city's challenge has also taken this into account, and the broadcast has been arranged in the field early.
At this time, there were not many people in the field. After all, many people were eliminated early, and it was not interesting to stay here, so they had to go home. Because the field is too wide and there are many large and small monitors, the 16 games of the opening match can be broadcast all at a time. As for which team everyone wants to see, it is up to their own choice!
However, as a local rich family, the Jiantiancheng team naturally received the greatest attention, not to mention that its opponent is still a September Flower team belonging to the same rich family. As if the organizer had expected, the game was also arranged to be broadcast by the largest of all the big screens.
The clock pointed to 8 p.m., and the thirteenth season of the WarGame professional league officially started...
